The Harlem Hammer – 11/23/2001
By K. Thor Jensen
Emotions run high in the ring, and it’s not surprising that men jacked up on adrenaline and testosterone make some bad choices. At a charity boxing event to benefit families of 9/11 victims, young fighter James “The Harlem Hammer” Butler faced a fighter named Richard Grant. Butler lost by decision, and after the fight went to the middle of the ring ostensibly to congratulate his opponent. Instead, he threw a vicious right hook with his gloves off to Grant’s face, breaking his jaw and lacerating his tongue. He was booked for assault and tossed in jail. Years later, he was convicted of murdering the brother of an HBO boxing analyst.
